"Paul's Choice is owned by Unilever. They are not a cruelty-free company. [...] There's actually a class action lawsuit from customers claiming that Paula's Choice has been testing on animals and not disclose it for the last several years."

"I like the serum because of my skin type. The texture is [...] very high in glycerin and feels kind of thick, but [...] even though it's second on the ingredient list, it's not as tacky so I actually don't mind the texture here. The ingredients with the ceramides and beta glucan make it a pretty simple product, and it's pretty soothing. It never messes with my irritated skin. I find it like a really nice way to heal it up if it's irritated or damaged from other products."
